2.8 tft v2 pinout

[thinwing]

Hello I need to connect to arduino mega via wires instead of stacking ontop of the mega due to enclosure constraints...besides 6iscp pins which connections are needed to mega...regards kpc

This tutorial explains the pinouts and shows how to make connections on a breadboard for both 8-bit and SPI communication: http://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-2-do ... v2/pinouts

Thankyou for reply Mike...The tutorial you supplied is for version 1 I believe...I have 2.8 tft v2 for arduino...my board has the 6 pin icsp brought out and is desighned to fit on a uno as a shield..or a mega with mods.My problem is that ,unlike version 1 you pointed out,my board has a two rows of pins that are not labeled...So my question...if I connect 6 pin icsp which of those pins on the two rows need to be connected if any??..regards kpc

Ah.. we don't have a breakout version for those, but the tutorial has a schematic which shows the signals and pin connections: http://learn.adafruit.com/system/assets ... 1388769644

Basically it's 3, 4, and 8-13.

Ok...I guess I can reverse engineer the pin outs by stacking on a uno and trial and error.Suggustion...on next run of boards please label all the pins to save your customers time...regards kp couch

Actually, we just released a breakout version of the 2.8" TFT and a tutorial which includes wiring instructions: http://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-2-do ... reakout-v2
